the ruling classes, TO subdue those VINO
stand ND Tor the rights OF the aforesaid,
throws them into jails and penitentia
ries, and even strangles them upon the
gallows, as the event of to-day has
shown be it
Resolved, That we, citizens of Balti-
more, in mass-meeting assembled, pro-
claim
OUR DEEPEST INDIGNATION
against the brutal murder committed
to-day.
Mr.. A. Kehm, who was next called on,
said az bave had the honor OF being
with Parsons and Spies. Unless you
have been in their company you cannot
imagine what excellent soul they pos
sessed. They worked for the working
men, suffered for them, and TO day died
for them. The press cried out that the
four men must hang TO bring about peace
between capital and labor. The singers
are dead, but the songs These men
are dead. Will not their blood cry for
revenge ? Do you think that when you
cut off branch the tree will die Give
the working people their nights and there
will be no Spies, no Fielding, no Par
sons. no Fischer. They expect by kill
ing these men they will bury their ideas.
The future will tell 4; blood will not rest
forever.
Professor Garside, who was at the foot
of the room. was called on, and. after
some hesitation, came forward. He said
he had not the slightest sympathy
with the Anarchistic section (; but when
I've heard Of the death of the four nen
his heart sank like lead. tie believed
that the men were wrong and deluded !;
but he also believed that they were inno-
cent of the crime for which they suffer-
ed. He knew Parsons, and he did not be-
lieve him capable OF such an act. They
tell me that am professional agitator, s"
he said. :" In this | stand on the same
level with Kossuth and George Wash
ington, for he fought the power Of the
English. The circle of freedom is mar
rowing, and, like in England, men will
be bound by the clap-trap of aristocracy /;
by the clap trap of birth. Find the
man who threw the bomb in Chicago
and
WOULD BLOW OUT HIS BRAINS.
"The space of free thought and free
action is becoming narrowed. Dare you
vote as you please? No. There are few
men who dare vote as they please. Here
they are under the power of rings, which
are the visible claws of ariStocracy. You
have no need to use weapons or bombs,
but we should get What we want by the
force Of the opinion of the people" He
said the last words Of Parsons, "Let the
voice of the people be heard, - will live
unto eternity. His presenceat the meet
ing, he said, was not an evidence of his
sympathy with anarchism, but with free
men. He urged his hearers to deter
mine that they would yet "make Ameri-
ca ring with liberty" This should
be done by uniting, and 10y every
means of peace and right. Professor
Garside paid glowing compliment to
Mrs Parsons. He said that "black as
her face is she has the heart Of a woman
such as few have. She has a heart such
as is n reproach to millions of white
women. God never made a nobler. /
have made mp my mind, he said, THAT
the grass of the graves Of those who
suffered shall be vatered not with tears,
but by deeds Of right and justice. !
can't speak as freely as | would like. /
stand here to say that in the execution
of Parsons the breath Of a man as holy
as God ever created has been stolen.
He said in bis talks with Parsons he
wanted him to get right into the middle
of anarchy, but he could not see it that
way. After Professor Garside's speech,
at about $3.50 2. NJ, the meeting broke
up.
